CONFIDENCE TO CREATE

We believe that filmmaking should be about creating the things you feel called to create, no matter what stands in the way.

Powered by COMV

COMV is a working production company based out of Utah.

A passionate team of creatives set out years ago to build, from the ground up, a production company that would allow us to inspire the world with the stories we longed to tell. With plenty of mistakes along the way, we have loved learning from each wrong turn as we have grown into a premier independent film studio. With decades of experience in professional film work, thousands of productions, and hundreds of the best clients we could only dream of at the beginning; we want to take what we learned and pass it on to filmmakers like you embarking on that same journey.

So we made the FilmMAKERS Kit.
